About me

I'm a content creator and D&D homebrewer. I've been playing TTRPGs for close to 30 years, most recently DM'ing D&D 5e, but I love World of Darkness (particularly Mage: the Ascension), Monsterhearts and Monster of the Week. MY D&D DM style is very eclectic and kitchen sink-y -- I like to combine genres, settings, ideas into a messy, interconnected whole with lots of moral ambiguity, because life is messy. If that's your jam, too, let's talk!

GM Style

My GM style is very fluid with more emphasis on RP and less on rules (although I'm not opposed to homebrewing new mechanics when existing ones don't suffice). I'm interested in complex stories with mystery and intrigue and maybe a little cosmic horror. I love it when you come to the table with ideas and we can collaborate on how your character fits into the larger story. For D&D, specifically, I enjoy working within the Exandria setting as it's the one I know best and the inclusiveness of the world most aligns with the types of games and characters I like to run. World of Darkness was my first love, however, and I love running urban fantasy. I've run games for as few as one player and as many as 10, but my sweet spot is ~4-5.

I like being vary creative with the world around me in D&D. example once we were near a boss fight with a dragon, I thought back to some big dwarf mines that we heard of so I had a crazy idea to start a cave in wall the dragon was inside. still one of my favorite moments in my time of D&D. jazzsequence is a great Dm for me.
